When Spacer System dimmers are “ganged” togetheror distributed in the same wallbox, each dimmer canbe adjusted to the same light level.

Control Your Meeting...Meeting rooms are very often “nerve centers” for conducting day-to-day business. Spacer System

helps you conduct more effective meetings by giving you control of the room’s lightingenvironment (audiovisuals, standup presentations, roundtable discussions and note taking).

You never have to leave the podium or conference table to control the lights.

Wall-mounted Master Control communicates with IR “Blaster” Technology

• Master control blasts infrared signal to the dimmers and switches• No wires required between controls • IR blasts right and left – allowing you to place wall-mounted master

control to the right-or-left of dimmers and switches• All controls must be in the same wallbox to receive signal from wall-mounted master

control.

The Simple, Approach to Remote Control Dimming

A Clear BackboxHaving a clear backbox on dimmers and switches allows for receiving infrared signals

from 5-Scene Wall-mounted Master Control (without the need to wire between controls).

The Magic Behind the Flexibility…Spacer System’s design flexibility allows for easy retrofitting where existing switches or

dimmers are distributed throughout a room.

• IR signal from the hand-held remote control choreographs lighting scenes when controls are not “ganged“ together
